    I see Brook getting through and hurting Khan... Pure china chin, he was lucky to beat maidana and lucky the fight wasnt called off..
    i see it 60/40 Brook..

    70/30 in favour of Brook and being kind to Khan.

    Yeah with the Sky hype train behind it, I agree Jeff. Though I'd like to see Khan have a couple of warm up bouts before getting back in with someone who will really test him.

    I think Khan would win, and that at this stage he should be regarded slight favourite.

    I'd lean towards a Brook stoppage.

    This fight makes sense to me. Brook will have the opportunity to leapfrog some of the best fighters in the division in all governing bodies. Khan has the chance to say,"I'm better than anyone in Britain, get of my back ESB!"

    I don't think Brook will stop Khan, I don't think Brook has much world class power tbh. I think Khan's experience and his probable cautiousness would carry him through this fight, by a good 4 rounds I'd say.

    Starting to doubt Brook's chances of a title, especially when the likes of Bradley holds the British favourite WBO title!

    ******'s favourite. As far as I know hes been fighting or WBA and IBF baubles recently, he could easily grab a title if he waits for an easy championship fight

    I'd probably favour Brook. Khan's chin won't hold up to any 147 fighter that has pop.

    Brook is better and will stop Khan.

    Based on what? Who has he honestly beaten that you can consider a legitimate test? Jones is at the very best gatekeeper level & he dominated once Brook faced a little bit of adversity. I think Khan has proven that he can handle the big occasion, Brook hasn't yet. Based on experience alone, Khan should be fancied IMO.

    Khans fights tall for my liking and comes in and out in straight lines and whilst Brook isn't the finished article by any means I think he could catch Khan and stop him within 6.

    If Khan can take Brooks power, which I think is a bit overrated, it will be fun to see whether Brook can stay with Khan over the championship rounds.

    Anyway Khan is too small to fight at 147 IMO.
